This 2015 Gibson Firebird VII Reissue in rare Blue Mist finish is a stunning modern recreation of one of Gibson’s most ambitious 1960s designs. The Firebird VII was the top-tier model in the Firebird lineup—featuring neck-through-body construction, three humbucker pickups, and a Maestro Vibrola tailpiece. The result is a guitar with remarkable sustain, crystalline note clarity, and an unmistakable vintage vibe wrapped in a sleek, metallic finish.
I absolutely love these guitars! There's nothing in the guitar market that jumps out like a custom color Firebird!
This one is dead mint, part of a recent collection purchase of unplayed guitars. It set up nicely and has room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.
The seven-ply neck-through mahogany and walnut construction ensures incredible resonance and stability, while the bound rosewood fingerboard and block inlays give it a luxurious feel. The trio of mini-humbuckers delivers shimmering highs, focused mids, and punchy low-end, capable of everything from bluesy cleans to biting rock tones. This example is in mint condition with no notable wear and includes its original hard shell case and paperwork.
